Ahead Of Elections Three Akali Dal Leaders Joins AAP

AAP welcomed Balbir Singh Bath, former three-time Akali Dal MLA. Bath joined AAP in presence of Sucha Singh, state convenor and Sanjay Singh Chottepur and Punjab affairs in-charge. Besides Bath, Sarabjit Kaur wife of Captain Kanwaljit Singh, former state finance minister in the SAD government who died in a road accident in 2009 and Sukhwinder Sukhi, popular singer have also joined AAP giving a big boost to the party.

Speaking on the issue of Akali Dal president’s accusations of AAP having links with radicals and Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), he said, “I dare him to make public the investigation report which proves our links. There is no place for Khalistanis in our party.”
